enMy Turn: Alaskans lose rights without coastal management program http://juneauempire.com/opinion/2011-07-06/my-turn-alaskans-lose-rights-without-coastal-management-program
<p>The demise of our Alaska Coastal Management Program should awaken every Alaskan. </p>
<p>The federal Coastal Zone Management Act is the embodiment of the most balanced form of federalism &#8212; with federalism representing that ever-tense dynamic between federal and states&#8217; rights. The law requires no coastal state to participate. But if a state does, it gets two significant benefits: federal money to help manage its coastal zone, and &#8212; most importantly &#8212; the legal right to say if and how development in offshore waters should occur. </p>
